AIRCRAFT CARRIER
The Naval Fleet’s true floating airbase: expensive, infrastructure-heavy and slow to develop, but capable of projecting a major aircraft wing far beyond land bases. The Aircraft Carrier combines large aviation capacity, substantial hull durability, powerful radar coverage and steadily improving self-defense while remaining a strategic support asset rather than a frontline surface duelist.

Capital Ship // Full Carrier Commitment
This is not the Helicopter Carrier’s specialist transport route.
The supplied Aircraft Carrier requires Naval Base Level 5 plus
Arms Industry Level 1 and carries a much heavier development,
production and infrastructure commitment. In return it provides
substantially more aircraft capacity, hull durability, radar
coverage and self-defense.
Aircraft Capacity
5 → 10 → 15
L3 doubles the deck; L6 expands it again to 15.
Hit Points
100 → 200
Maximum hull durability doubles across the progression.
Radar
150 → 175 → 200
Excellent fleet-awareness coverage from Level 1.
Self-Defense Range
26 → 50 → 75
Coverage reaches 50 at L2 and 75 at L6.

Select Doctrine & Level
All three doctrine lines share the supplied core capacity,
HP, movement, radar and combat progression. Doctrine selection
changes the verified carrier-class identity. Exact research days
are not assigned because this supplied dossier confirms the
research trees without giving a safe complete day-per-level table.

Same Capital-Ship Curve // Different Carrier Classes
[ DOC-W // WESTERN AIRCRAFT CARRIER ]
Western Doctrine
L1–2 Kitty Hawk-Class //
L3–5 Nimitz-Class //
L6 Gerald R. Ford-Class
The supplied Western tree confirms the complete six-step
carrier progression into the late-game Ford unlock.
Core progression reaches 15 capacity, 200 HP and 200 radar.
[ DOC-E // EASTERN AIRCRAFT CARRIER ]
Eastern Doctrine
L1–2 Kiev-Class //
L3–5 Kuznetsov-Class //
L6 Ulyanovsk-Class
The supplied Eastern research tree confirms the
late-game carrier branch and upgrade sequence.
Exact research-node timing is kept separate from stat levels.
[ DOC-EU // EUROPEAN AIRCRAFT CARRIER ]
European Doctrine
L1–2 Giuseppe Garibaldi-Class //
L3–5 Charles de Gaulle-Class //
L6 Queen Elizabeth-Class
The supplied European research tree places the carrier
branch deep into the late game. Core progression matches
the same 5 → 10 → 15 capacity structure.
[ VERIFIED LEVEL PROGRESSION ]
Capacity / Hull / Radar / Mobility
| Level | Capacity | HP | Deep SPD | Shallow SPD | Radar | ATK Range | Operational Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| L1 | 5 | 100 | 3.00 | 1.50 | 150 | 26 | Entry capital carrier with serious durability. |
| L2 | 5 | 120 | 3.00 | 1.50 | 150 | 50 | Same deck size; stronger hull and defensive coverage. |
| L3 | 10 | 140 | 3.00 | 1.50 | 175 | 50 | Major breakpoint: aircraft capacity doubles. |
| L4 | 10 | 160 | 3.00 | 1.50 | 175 | 50 | More survivability and self-defense. |
| L5 | 10 | 180 | 3.50 | 1.75 | 175 | 50 | Mobility upgrade with ten-aircraft capacity retained. |
| L6 | 15 | 200 | 3.50 | 1.75 | 200 | 75 | Full capital-carrier end state. |
Carrier Rule // Capacity Defines Power Projection
The defining Aircraft Carrier progression is 5 → 10 → 15
aircraft capacity. L3 doubles the usable air wing and L6 adds
another five slots while simultaneously reaching maximum supplied
HP, radar and self-defense range. Aircraft capacity remains a
separate operational field and is not treated as direct ship damage.
[ PRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT COST ]
Capital-Ship Investment
| Level | Resource Cost | Mobilization | Daily Upkeep | Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| L1 | 3250 / 1000 / 750 / 1250 / 3500 | 1d 16h | 150 / 70 / 70 / 350 | 5 |
| L2 | 3250 / 1000 / 750 / 1250 / 3500 | 1d 18h | 160 / 80 / 80 / 400 | 5 |

| L4 | 3675 / 1500 / 1000 / 1600 / 5000 | 2d | 190 / 100 / 65 / 500 | 10 |
| L5 | 3675 / 1500 / 1000 / 1600 / 5000 | 2d 2h | 200 / 110 / 80 / 550 | 10 |

Infrastructure // Naval Base Level 5
The supplied Aircraft Carrier cards require Naval Base Level 5
plus Arms Industry Level 1. This infrastructure burden is part of
the unit’s strategic cost and distinguishes it from the specialist
Helicopter Carrier path.
[ SELF-DEFENSE GROWTH ]
Supported Combat Values
| Level | Visible Key ATK | Visible Key DEF | Range | Combat Read |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| L1 | 2 / 4 / 3 / 1 / 2 | 2 / 4 / 3 / 1 / 2 | 26 | Serious protection, but not a surface duelist. |
| L2 | 3 / 6 / 4 / 1 / 2 | 3 / 6 / 4 / 1 / 2 | 50 | Major improvement in defensive coverage. |
| L3 | 4 / 7 / 4.5 / 2 / 3 | 4 / 7 / 4.5 / 2 / 3 | 50 | Protection improves with the ten-slot deck. |
| L4 | 4.5 / 7.5 / 5 / 2 / 3 | 4.5 / 7.5 / 5 / 2 / 3 | 50 | Steady defensive scaling. |
| L5 | 4.5 / 8 / 5 / 2 / 3 | 4.5 / 8 / 5 / 2 / 3 | 50 | Strong carrier self-defense profile. |
| L6 | 5 / 9 / 7 / 3 / 5 | 5 / 9 / 7 / 3 / 5 | 75 | Maximum supplied protection; escorts still required. |
Combat Data Rule // Preserve Supplied Sequence
The self-defense source provides five visible supported-target
values per level rather than a complete safe textual target-class
mapping. Those values are preserved in their supplied sequence and
are not renamed, summed or converted into generic damage. Carrier
capacity, radar, HP and self-defense remain separate systems.
[ UPGRADE INTELLIGENCE ]
Aircraft Carrier Breakpoints
L1
Carrier Capability Online
Capacity 5, HP 100 and radar 150 already establish
a genuine mobile airbase, but the infrastructure and
production commitment is high immediately.
L3
Major Air-Wing Jump
Capacity doubles 5 → 10, HP rises 120 → 140 and
radar improves 150 → 175.
L5
Mobility Upgrade
Deep / shallow speed improves from 3.00 / 1.50
to 3.50 / 1.75 while capacity remains 10.
L6
Full Capital Carrier
Capacity 15, HP 200, radar 200 and 75-range supported
self-defense define the final supplied profile.
Source Separation // Research Timing
The supplied doctrine research trees confirm the complete
six-level carrier branches and their late-game progression,
but this dossier does not provide a complete exact research-day
schedule mapped to Levels 1–6. No day values are therefore
inferred. Doctrine selection changes verified class identity
while the supplied core level progression remains shared.
